For the 2011 sales year, he continues his standing in the “Top 2%” category for sales worldwide for six years, every year since affiliating. The “Top 2%” category has an elite membership recognized from the 3,000 brokers and agents worldwide. The Top 2% is based upon the year’s sales numbers. Saunders also placed for the fifth time in the Circle of Distinction Platinum.

Commenting on his sales success in challenging markets, Saunders says, “As John D. Rockefeller once said, ‘the major fortunes in America have been made in land.’ The variable market challenges will only shift the buyer’s demographics but not the ability to get land sold. Right now, strong commodity pricing is affecting farmland and is where investors are placing their money. A real estate broker needs to know their market as it relates to the repositioning of buyer demographics to be successful in all economic times.”

Saunders also led the company overall to its fifth win of the “Commercial Elite Office” award. This recognition is bestowed upon companies with sales numbers that are in the top 15 of all companies worldwide.

In 2011, the firm’s year-end totals were $107 MM in land sales, 79 transactions, and 22,771 acres sold. The company’s success rests in the expert knowledge of the 15 broker associates and agent land professionals
